Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 cup Almonds, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the broccoli florets thoroughly under cold water and then pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
In a large skillet, add the olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant but not browned.
Step 4
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring well to coat them with the garlic and oil.
Step 5
Sprinkle the red chili flakes evenly over the broccoli, and then add the sea salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Continue to cook the broccoli for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the florets are just tender and have a slight char on the edges.
Step 7
Meanwhile, in a small dry pan over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds until they are golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Step 8
Return to the broccoli and drizzle the lemon juice over it, tossing once more to distribute the flavor.
Step 9
Transfer the fiery broccoli to a serving platter and sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top as a finishing touch.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy Paleo Fiery Broccoli!
